Figure 3. Common carotid artery measurements.

No group‐sex interaction was detected by ANOVA. A, the peak systolic velocity of the common carotid artery was higher in the males compared to the females without group differences. B and C, increased end‐systolic velocity (B) and end‐diastolic velocity (C) were seen in the IUGR group compared to controls (CTL) without between‐sex differences. D, time‐average velocity was not significantly different between groups. E, the lumen area was not different between groups. F, a trend of increased normalized carotid blood flow was observed in IUGR without reaching significance. [Color figure can be viewed at http://wileyonlinelibrary.com]
